Power Factory is an example of a music industry game:[1] the game puts the player in control of editing the music videos for dance-pop group C+C Music Factory on 3 different songs: "Gonna Make You Sweat," "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." and "Here We Go Let's Rock & Roll.", and takes place in a fictional "music factory". Digital Pictures also released three more games in the same style, the Make My Video series.

In much the same way many musician video games allowed players to live the life of a rock star through an avatar, music industry-themed games put players in charge of musical empires, gamifying real-world, industry-related issues and tasks, such as budgets, publicity and promotion, and music video production. Games in this genre include Rock Star Ate My Hamster (1988), Make My Video (1992), Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory (1992), Virtual VCR: The Colors of Modern Rock (1992), Rock Manager (2001), Recordshop Tycoon (2010) and TastemakerX (2011).
